So I just finally got a flickr account and I love it! So much creativity and inspiration in one spot. I was just browsing through 'the commons' when I happened upon this great picture of a 1930's women's rugby team. I played rugby in college and I miss it a lot. It was one of the few sports that most people joined not knowing anything about and we all learned together. We didn't even have a proper coach- the girl who had the most experience was automatically it- and we all learned together. I miss the play hard, party harder attitude between teams, the muddy practices, and the overall badassness (is that a word?) that comes with playing rugby.
